Sounds like they might be remastering it themselves.

Rachel_Alucard1712d ago

They would've done one, 8 years ago if they could. They can't even rerelease it on current gen with how poorly coded it is.

neutralgamer19921712d ago

Rachel

If rumors are correct than they are remastering it and releasing it next year

Rachel_Alucard1712d ago

We've had rumors like that for years. Take 2 didn't shut down that project because they had one already being made, but because they are very aggressive against modding, brand image, etc similar to Nintendo.

Orionsangel1712d ago

The closest we got to a RDR remaster was the backwards compatible version on Xbox One X.

@ Rachel
I OBJECT!
The person on NeoGAF did not say it cannot release. He said it takes more work than an average port.
They need to get it working on RAGE 3 first, then port it to PC.
The whole "coded mess" thing is a misconception that got spread around. It is possible to remaster it.

Rachel_Alucard1711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

@tehpees

Again I've heard rumors about this thing for years. Different people all come in claiming to be valid sources of info and then nothing happens. It may have been attempted a few times but nothings come up because of it.

There was a lawsuit a few years ago by Leslie Benzies (Lead Designer for GTA, RDR) to Rockstar that brought in some evidence suggestion the game was a developmental nightmare a year prior to it's release. That is probably where the messy code claims come from, on top of design issues and how bug ridden the game was the first few months.

There was another old Asked and Answered article on R*'s website where they answered fan questions.

They said, "There is just one title absent from our PC release plans – that game of course being Red Dead Redemption, and of course we’re well aware that some fans have been asking for it. All we can say is that whenever it is viable (technically, developmentally and business-wise) for us to release a game for PC (or any other particular platform) – we will and we usually do; unfortunately, that is just not the case 100% of the time for all platforms."

Meanwhile L.A. Noire, Max Payne 3, and GTA5 all ended up on PC. There's no way you make PC releases for all of your games then suddenly decide one of your most successful titles should stay on last gen, unless there's a huge technical mess you're dealing with. I blame that lead designer no longer being on the project since he was the only one who could run the show correctly according to the Houser brothers own mouths.

Nah they’re busy doing the PC port of red dead 2. Along with ps5 and xb2 versions.

Dislikes from console clowns

Kingdroopy20181712d ago

LOl damn all those dislikes from Console fanboys

TengHu1711d ago

It's funny we're getting all these dislikes from console fanboys but I'm a console gamer (PS4) as well.

autobotdan1712d ago (Edited 1712d ago )

There already is a Remaster on Xbox One X. Fans and/or Take-Two didn't have to do any work remastering. Microsoft already remastered it

Soybetaboy1712d ago

Xbox x is a BEAST of a console

Hungryalpaca1712d ago

A resolution bump is a remaster now?

autobotdan1711d ago

Yes it is. A remaster is exactly the same game and graphics just a resolution bump. A remake is adding in new stuff that wasn't in the original game and redoing the entire game engine

lelo2play1712d ago

Everybody knew this was going to happen. Announcing they are going to remaster Red Dead Redemption, it's obvious the modders were going to be contacted by Take-Two or Rockstar to halt the project.

Cobra9511712d ago

Yes. They don't learn. Don't announce. Release when done. Nothing can be stopped once it's released.

SubZtx1712d ago

That is what I said when I heard about them making it on PC Gamer "what kinda dumbass announces this before releasing it into the wild?"

phoenixwing1712d ago (Edited 1712d ago )

@sub
the reason they might do that is they hope someone sees the project and hires them outright after seeing how well they do.

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies122d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1013d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa3d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming36d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long36d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming36d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10135d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor36d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6936d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming36d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno36d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming36d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast50d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg50d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai49d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
